one month ago proot saw its first release for almost 6.5 years. The official release however needs a certain
pull request to correctly build with python extensions
Nixpkgs is meant to link everything dynamically. We don’t want to
expose static packages at the top level. If some package needs
statically built binaries, it should use a custom override.

New features
------------
* Processes under PRoot now appear with their real names, that is,
they are not renamed ld-linux.so or prooted-... anymore.
* Own ELF loader.
Fixes
-----
* Most bugs related to shebang support -- ie. #! at the beginning of
a program -- were fixed.
* It is now possible to use GDB against multi-threaded programs under
PRoot x86_64 and x86.
* It is possible to execute x86_64 programs from x86 programs again.
* It is possible to use x86 ptrace-based programs (strace, gdb, ...)
under PRoot x86_64 again.
* The loader is now built with the build-id linker option explicitly
disabled. This special section might interfere with loaded
programs.
* The loader can now load relocatable objects that have a predefined
base address.
